Not only did the Wademen use a battering line charge that could not be stopped, but they took to the air with a degree of success that netted long gains. A triple pass, worked to perfection, baffled the Mississippians and was responsible for many of the long gains. t. Coach Wade started his second stringers, who managed to shove over a lone touchdown in the open-' ing quarter, Tucker carrying the ball over.
